BREAKING NEWS

HAVE YOU HEARD?? OH MY GOSH I AM COMPLETELY EXCITED ABOUT THIS!! IT HAS ONLY BEEN A WEEK SINCE I FINISHED THE GOLDEN LILY AND THE NEXT BOOK HAS A COVER ALREADY!!!

THIS IS FREAKING GORGEOUS AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE ADRIAN BACK ON THE COVER RIGHT WHERE HE BELONGS (I think he’s the one on the right, it looks like the same model from Bloodlines who is Adrian—I have her app and the picture for Adrian is the same one on the Bloodlines cover). FEBRUARY 13, 2013 IS TOO FAR AWAY. THIS BOOK NEEDS TO COME OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Books

My “To Read” stack is very short as in 4 books. I need some recommendations from all you lovely people. I read just about anything so please tell me about any books! This is very different for me as I am the one usually giving out recommendations to friends (not really family because they won’t like what I read). Right now I am finishing a book called While He Was Away by Karen Schreck (it’s about a girl who is dating a soldier and he’s in Iraq and covers what she is doing at home until he gets back from Iraq—a semi-love story very good so far). Last night, erm, this morning at about 2:30 I finished The Golden Lily (as I have talked about a lot already—SO FREAKING GOOD! RICHELLE MEAD KEEPS WRITING AMAZING BOOKS!). Anything and everything is welcome, so please recommend away! Please?

So close…

The title means a lot of things at the moment.

Well, to start out, it may have only been the first 5 strikes, but, well, I was still close to a 300…again. In the sixth frame I threw a perfect shot and left a stone 7 pin (which I then missed). Over the course of the past year and a half I have shot (in order) 277, 279, a front 8 for a 254, 276, and  a 288. It’s really starting to upset me more and more that I cannot get my 300. I have worked so hard for it and I still have yet to earn my ring. I have also worked hard for a 700 series, that’s all, just a 700 series, and I still have yet to get that. My high set is 684 and my high game is that 288. I’m sorry if you’re reading this and don’t really understand what I’m talking about, but bowling is my life. It always has been and always will be. I am part of a bowling family. My mom, dad, step-mom, step-dad, half-brother, mom’s parents, and step-mom’s parents all bowl. And I cannot forget about my bowling family, from my teammates to my competitors. We all even feed each other on an early tournament morning.

The second thing that this title is about is the book I am currently taking a quick little break from to share my thoughts with you all. Don’t make fun, but one of my favorite series is the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. Well, Rose’s story ended about a year ago (has it really been that long already???) and Richelle has continued on in this world telling Sydney’s story after everything that has happened with Rose in the Bloodlines series. I am currently reading the second book, The Golden Lily, and am less than a hundred pages from the ending. I don’t want it to end since I have to wait until next year for the next book to come out. My thoughts right now on this book: ADRIAN. That is it, besides this book and this series and the Vampire Academy series just being pure amazingness. I like to call Adrian my fictional husband. He is just that amazing to me. I love him so much!
